Collusion’s a threat to NFL - BostonHerald.com

"If the owners were found to have colluded during the uncapped year the penalty could be the most feared one in jurisprudence: treble damages. If this mess ends up in court and that $46 million is trebled, that’s a $138 million hit to the owners, similar to the one baseball owners took for colluding to suppress salaries between 1985-87. Major League Baseball forked over $280 million to the union."
